Book Description
Wie bei kaum einem anderen Gegenstand der Forschung wurde die Geschichte des 'Widerstandsrechts' durch ihre Bedeutung als politisches Argument im 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert und durch die besonderen Erfahrungen der deutschen Geschichte geprägt. Dennoch stammt die letzte umfassende Synthese zum Gegenstand aus der Zeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg, die letzte dem Thema gewidmete Aufsatzsammlung erschien vor über 25 Jahren. Umso dringender bedarf die Forschung eines Überblicks, der die Erträge der letzten rund 30 Jahre monographischer Spezialforschung im europäischen Vergleich zusammenfaßt und zugleich neue Perspektiven eröffnet. Die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes zeichnen die Stationen der Forschung nach, schlagen Periodisierungen vor, fragen nach Besonderheiten und stellen die Erträge der jüngeren Forschung zu Deutschland, England und Schottland vor.

The Sinews of Habsburg Power
Author: William D. Godsey
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198809395
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
The Sinews of Habsburg Power explores the domestic foundations of the immense growth of central European Habsburg power from the rise of a permanent standing army after the Thirty Years' War to the end of the Napoleonic wars. With a force that grew irregularly in size from around 25,000 soldiers to as many as half a million in the War of the Sixth Coalition, the Habsburg monarchy participated in shifting international constellations of rivalry from western Europe to the Near East and in some two dozen, partly overlapping armed conflicts. Raising forces of such magnitude constituted a central task of Habsburg government, one that ultimately required the cooperation of society and its elites. The monarchy's composite-territorial structures in the guise of the Lower Austrian Estates -- a leading representative body and privileged corps -- formed a vital, if changing, element underlying Habsburg international success and resilience. With its capital at Vienna, the archduchy below the river Enns (the historic designation of Lower Austria) was geographically, politically, and financially a key Habsburg possession. Fiscal-military exigency induced the Estates to take part in new and evolving arrangements of power that served the purposes of government; in turn the Estates were able in previously little-understood ways and within narrowing boundaries to preserve vital interests in a changing world. The Estates survived because they were necessary, not only thanks to their increasing financial potency, but also because they offered a politically viable way of exacting ever-larger quantities of money, men, and other resources from local society. These circumstances would persist as ruling became more regularized, formalized, and homogenized, and as the very understanding of the Estates as a social and political phenomenon was evolving.

Self-Defence and Religious Strife in Early Modern Europe
Author: Robert von Friedeburg
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1351901281
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
This book explores the emergence of the nationally diverging paths taken by England and Germany in relation to the legal concept of self-defence. It explores how various theories of legitimate resistance to authority were developed and how they came to influence one another. In particular it is argued that German theories played a much greater role than has hitherto been acknowledged in influencing English concepts of 'natural rights' as discussed by such men as Parker and Locke.

The Early Reformation in Germany
Author: Dr Tom Scott
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 140946900X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 437
Book Description
Over the last twenty years research on the Reformation in Germany has shifted both chronologically and thematically toward an interest in the ‘long’ or ‘delayed’ Reformations, and the structure and operation of the Holy Roman Empire. Whilst this focus has resulted in many fascinating new insights, it has also led to the relative neglect of the early Reformation movement. Put together with the explicit purpose of encouraging scholars to reengage with the early ‘storm years’ of the German Reformation, this collection of eleven essays by Tom Scott, explores several issues in the historiography of the early Reformation which have not been adequately addressed. The debate over the nature and function of anticlericalism remains unresolved; the mainsprings of iconoclasm are still imperfectly understood; the ideological role of evangelical doctrines in stimulating and legitimising popular rebellion - above all in the German Peasants’ War - remains contentious, while the once uniform view of Anabaptism has given way to a recognition of the plurality and diversity of religious radicalism. Equally, there are questions which, initially broached, have then been sidelined with undue haste: the failure of Reforming movements in certain German cities, or the perception of what constituted heresy in the eyes of the Reformers themselves, and not least, the part played by women in the spread of evangelical doctrines. Consisting of seven essays previously published in scholarly journals and edited volumes, together with three new chapters and an historical afterword, Scott’s volume serves as a timely reminder of the importance of the early decades of the sixteenth century. By reopening seemingly closed issues and by revisiting neglected topics the volume contributes to a more nuanced understanding of what the Reformation in Germany entailed.

Deposing Monarchs
Author: Cathleen Sarti
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100051921X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Deposing Monarchs analyses depositions in Northern Europe between 1500 and 1700 as a type of frequent political conflict which allows to present new ideas on early modern state formation, monarchy, and the conventions of royal rulership. The book revises earlier conceptualizations of depositions as isolated, unique events that emerged in the context of national historiographies. An examination of the official legitimations of depositions reveals that in times of crisis, concepts of tradition, rule of law, and political consensus are much more influential than the divine right of kings. Tracing the similarities and differences of depositions in Northern Europe transnationally and diachronically, the book shows monarchical succession as more non-linear than previously presumed. It offers a transferable model of the different elements needed in depositions, such as opposition to the monarch by multiple groups in a realm, the need for a convincing rival candidate, and a legitimation based on political traditions or religious ideas. Furthermore, the book bolsters our understanding of authority and rule as a constant process of negotiation, adding to recent research on political culture, and on the cultural history of politics.
